Hit the scale, how can I be this heavy?
I hit the scale yesterday and pretty surprised by the numbers. I'm over on GVW, rim capacity and tire capacity. Would never have thought I was based on estimates. I thought I was maybe over by a coupl...

that's the rating on the sidewall, I actually thought that was pretty high for E rated tires. I've seen many that are lower than that.
The tire capacity is worrisome, I also believe I'm over the rim capacity.... if the scale is correct, just seems really high for a 8.5' no slide camper.
I'm kicking myself that I didn't unload and weigh the truck by itself, I had the time too.

I've been kicking tires on new trucks and was maybe considering a dually, I was really thinking it was optional but this is pushing me more in that direction, especially if I ever want to get a larger one.
I just have no experience with dually's, took a short test drive in one and it didn't seem all that different to handle, gotta watch those fenders but I spend a lot of time looking in the mirrors now. Looks like the tire changing procedure isn't all that different, looks like both wheels mount to the same studs. As you can see I'm pretty green as far as duallys go.
